Counterquestion: Why shouldn't I use functions? They exists, they are 
official supported, they are neither marked as deprecated, nor ever 
discussed to get removed at all. It feels a little bit weird to me, that 
I need to explain, why one wants to use functions, that are part of the 
language since ever. And (on the other hand) static methods are imo just 
something different.
